Hello op, people are suggesting all kinds of old turd Nintendo 64 games for nostalgia or "gameplay", which is great for nerds who have never watched wrestling or attended an event, but if your brother is actually really into wwe, you're going to want to get him the latest one because he's going to want to play characters that are actually on the current roster for TV. Wwe 2k14 has a good mix of old and new if he's into wwe history, but if he's mostly into the current stuff and you can wait a bit, wwe 2k15 is going to have the most up to date roster

zelgadis: Sep 5, 2004; Doesn't that just beat all

any wrestling game that has ladder matches where you can quickly set up the ladder, climb it, and win within 5 seconds are all the best

Mercury Crusader: Apr 20, 2005; You know they say that all demons are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Pyro Jack and you can see that statement is not true, hee-ho!

The robust character creator of WWF No Mercy allows anybody to create their favorite professional wrestler so long as they like to create dudes from the '90s or the Territories era. I hope your brother likes Ric Flair or Harley Race because WWF No Mercy is the best wrestling game.
